Great News!

Hey friends and fam,

Just wanted to share some great news... Kolby got a job!!!

It is a senior AP English position at a nearby high school. He'll also be teaching a creative writing class. It is his absolute dream job, and we are totally in awe of what a great opportunity this is for him!

The job is at a really unique school-- it follows a project-based learning model where things are done a bit differently, with a much stronger focus on technology and on independent and group learning, as opposed to lecturing. The campus is technology-rich, and all students have a laptop to use in classes. Although it is public, students must apply and only 100 or so students per grade are accepted. Kolby will be teaching their first senior class, so he'll have a LOT of flexibility with what he teaches. It will be a lot of work, but he is excited to be in a position that will require all that he has to offer. He is already hard at work thinking of summer reading.  Heaven help those kids.

We made our own great plan for Kolby to teach at our Alma Mater next year, but when that all fell through we knew God had something different in mind-- though we were devastated and really doubted that anything would work out at all. Why we let those doubts creep in when God has always, always taken care of us in one way or another this entire time is totally beyond me. I feel like an idiot for worrying so much, but I am so incredibly happy for Kolby and we are so grateful for this awesome opportunity. I’m proud of you, hubs!
